Dust, grease, hot summers and cold winters are not a good environment for electronics. The original mouse ended up causing a hardware conflict and the PC would freeze up. The two spare mice I put in its place worked just fine. So I just needed a replacement of the same kind. What's great about this mouse is the hand size and that it's wired. Mechanics can easily grab onto it and maneuver it with ease. A wired mouse eliminates the frustration of a dead battery in a business climate where the person needs it to work now and not be fiddling around looking for a battery. I figured this mouse would no longer be available, but lo and behold I found it here on desertcart, and there were lots of positive reviews on it. The cost was very reasonable so I purchased it, received it on time and plugged it in. Works great! Plus the new one doesn't have mechanics grease all over it - yet. This mouse is quite durable, so I foresee no problems for years, if ever. Review: Well-made, lightweight, great shape - I spent a great deal of time reading reviews of all the available optical "mice". I was prepared to spend whatever was necessary to get just the right mouse, too... so this Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse wasn't chosen because it's low-priced. I chose it because it had a high percentage of positive reviews both on desertcart and on other sites. I'm not a big gamer per se (I leave that to my son), but I do play a bit online so I didn't want to buy the slowest mouse on the market. I also didn't want a notebook size mini mouse... but I am a woman and so I didn't want a mouse that fits well in Paul Bunyan's hand but not in mine. I really like the lightweight aspect of this mouse and the size is just right. It has a graceful curve to its shape that makes it a bit more streamlined (and therefore fits my hand better) than the beer belly mouse I'm replacing. And after much consideration, I opted for this standard 3-button mouse rather than a 5-button. I wanted the possibility of those added buttons... but I know me... and those extra 2 buttons are right where I rest my thumb on the mouse. I have no doubt I'd be accidentally clicking buttons with my thumb constantly. So I decided less was more and chose the 3-button. That gives me a left-click, right-click and a wheel that serves as a button, too. With that wheel button, I programmed it for the one extra web-surfing button I've always wanted: a back button. So I'm a happy camper. This mouse has great control, flies across the screen with enough speed that I can play my games, is a comfortable fit for a woman, lightweight, and nicely constructed. An excellent mouse for $20. ## Features - Microsoft D66-00069 Wheel Optical Mouse - IntelliEye optical technology - Smooth, precise motion on almost any surface - Scroll wheel for easy scrolling and zooming - Works well with either hand ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00025O7FC | | Additional Features | Optical | | Antenna Location | Gaming, Office | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,105 in Computer Mice | | Brand | Microsoft | | Built-In Media | customization software | | Button Quantity | 3 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (460) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 3 Years | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00805529815988 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardware Platform | Ordenador, Tablet | | Item Weight | 0.89 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Microsoft | | Model Name | Wheel Mouse Optical | | Model Number | D66-00069 | | Mouse Maximum Sensitivity | 6000 Dots per Inch | | Movement Detection | Optical | | Operating System | Mac OS X v10.1x–10.4x, Windows Vista/XP/Pro/Home/Media Center Edition/Tablet PC Edition/Windows 2000 SP4 + | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Range | 5.0 feet | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 805529815988 805529198388 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Microsoft - **Color:** Black - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Movement Detection Technology:** Optical - **Special Feature:** Optical ## Images ![Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mtnAapbTL.jpg) ![Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Si2i+tYML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's perfect! *by X***P on July 6, 2013* I had this exact mouse that was purchased in 2003 and it worked perfectly until the Spring of 2013, which is understandable since it was used in an auto repair shop.

This is the best budget mouse you ever get. the size, ergonomics and functionality, it does everything you needed to do. It wont offer any blazing speeds in terms of poll rate, nor does it have the satisfied tactile feedback when you press each mouse click. It's no mouse for gaming or ones for heavy usage when you are around the computer often. This Mouse is more catered to those who are not on the computer all the time and only use them sparingly. Those who aren't tech savvy but wants something that gets the job done. For those who are on the productivity side, I'd recommend elsewhere like the Logitech MX Master 3S, or hold off until the upcoming MX Master 4 which was recently leaked. In terms of gaming, it is subjective because there are so many that have different Hz rates and weight. These two play a big role in finding the right balance to what you want. Besides that, this mouse I would say is as good as it gets. The laser and the clicks have never failed me like some Logitech Mice I've own the past years. Keep in mind that this is a usb 2.0 wired mouse and not a wireless one, so you don't have to worry about battery drainage as it is plug directly to the computer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse, Black - Logitech Mouse Pad - Studio Series, Computer Mouse Mat with Anti-Slip Rubber Base, Easy Gliding, Spill-Resistant Surface, Durable Materials, Portable, in a Fresh Modern Design, Graphite - Dell Wired Keyboard - Black KB216 (580-ADMT) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/4727571-microsoft-wheel-optical-mouse-black](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/4727571-microsoft-wheel-optical-mouse-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
